Token Skeptic Podcast on Sexism and the Internet

Token Skeptic interviews three female bloggers about it. The interviews are most interesting and I also fell in love with a couple of the women who did the intros to the podcast based on their awesome accents and acting abilities alone (and in spite of the heinous content of the internet comments they were reeancting).
